Product Overview

The SENA DWO 1-Lite is a high-performance Bluetooth headset designed specifically for motorcycle riders. It allows you to enjoy music, communicate via intercom with your riding buddies, and receive GPS navigation instructions seamlessly. With integrated Bluetooth technology, HD Intercom capabilities, and an intuitive LCD display, the DWO 1-Lite provides a minimal and freeing communication experience on the road.

Installation

The headset can be mounted to your helmet using either the provided clamp or the glued surface mounting adapter. Choose the method that best fits your helmet type.
